Yes, this is not a religious example at all but certainly one of conscious.  Again I ask – which is of more importance in the law: an explicit Constitutional Right to Freedom for those of faith, secondary laws at the Federal, tertiary laws by the States, or regulations at the local levels?  Which should always take precedence?  Should secular sexual license trump Religious Freedom?  Or are we seeing yet another attempt to shove those of faith out of the public square?  And if that happens, what’s next?  I can claim religious conscious and not fight in a war (consciencious objecter) but have to serve

As George Will has observed:

“The gay rights movement has become a sore winner. It is winning everywhere, it is winning quickly.  There’s a transformation of American attitudes that shows how plastic we are and malleable and yet they’re unhappy and they are going from, as Tucker says, tolerance to the belief that whatever isn’t forbidden must be made mandatory”.

No, this is all about “You WILL be made to care” in the form of an angry mobocracy.  Agree with us or be destroyed.  Individual conscience, formerly a stalwart of American philosophy, is being absorbed by The Collective.
